In 1990, PM Imran Khan, while playing against Australia at Brisbane, had made 82 runs, a highest score by any Pakistani player against Aussies until Babar surpassed it yesterday.
Babar Azam, who is also the world’s number one ODI batter, has become the fastest Asian to score 4,000 ODI runs.
Babar, who amassed the milestone in 82 innings, fell one short of former Proteas star Hashim Amla’s 81.
